Irish terrorism never went away. It just stopped happening on the mainland...

A police officer and a prison officer were shot dead recently in seperate incidents. Another police officer lost his legs in a car bomb explosion. As Ummm said, it hasn't gone away. It just doesn't make the headlines any more.

It never went away aog...they just stopped bombing London, Manchester, etc.

We will never fully rid ourselves of terrorism, but if uou mean back to the level of the troubles, then no, we will not see that.

There are some who didn't accept the peace. A very small number.

When I put "Could We See A Return Of Irish Terrorism" I automatically assumed that ABers would realise that I was referring to the main land.

How wrong I was.

I expect there will be some minor incidents.

But like Gromit says, nothing like the time of the troubles. They do not have the power, either in men or financial to carry out major attacks undetected.

In addition, Plod et al have got much better at defending - thanks to the Jihadists.

And, of course, the leaders of terrorist organisations a few decades ago are now in "government" (i.e the Nothern Ireland Assembly).

[emmie]

yes.

As long as it's a divided nation there will always be terrorism , coupled as it is with religion it's a caustic mix. Throughout the world religion and greed have been the basic excuses for violence and the Abrahamic religions are arguably the most violent of them all, which is hardly surprising 'Our' God sets the ground rules. He/It resorts to violence from the outset.
" Do as I say or I will smite you ! " Which usually means death.
